In my opinion Haze can be considered a pretty good FPS game in terms of its basic gameplay concepts, however not everything came together in the end.

In the end though, the RPG-type elements outweigh this repetition and make it a fun play, especially if you are any sort of Ghostbusters fan or one who likes to game on the go.

Bullet Witch has some good moments but it ultimately fails to deliver a stellar product that third person shooter fans have become accustomed to.

Overall, Rabbids Travel in Time 3D manages to accomplish what it sets out to do. That is to provide mindless entertainment for 3D gaming on the go. It is a simple game, fun and perfect for younger gamers, as it is easy to pick up, the controls are very basic, and progressing along the games many levels is accomplished with ease. More mature 3DS owners will likely want to pass this one up, but younger 3DS will want to give this one a go.

While there are some great elements to multiplayer game, Conquest comes across as a somewhat rushed game that falls into the realm of pretty average.

Despite the solid visuals and the slick flashback sequences there is just not enough content to give a solid recommendation to purchase a copy of Lost: Via Domus as the gameplay has far too many annoyances.

Although Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is not the greatest game out there, it definitely manages to be what it tries to be, a mindless romp through various levels fighting hordes of enemies while trying to reach an objective.

The biggest issue with the value of this game is that the overall gameplay is not as inspiring as the visuals or the sound

Overall, Tecmo Bowl for the iPhone and iTouch is a game I would not recommend to football fans looking for a Tecmo Bowl fix while on the go. The controlling players is troublesome and the lack of licensed players simply did not leave me with the same feeling I had when playing the game back in 1989. Also, when you consider the price ($7.99), there are simply better options available.

Overall, WALL•E for the DS is perfect game for those younger and somewhat experienced gamers who loved the WALL•E movie and own a DS.

Overall, Fallen Champions could have been good. But I've taken a look at King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame, and found that this really is a bit of a stopgap game, something to keep the players happy between the first and the second. But this probably won't attract any new players, because the first missions are, with the exception of Lady Corighann's, pretty tedious, the CYOA sections could have used more work, and, there are more irritations than good points.

There are some phenomenal graphics here, but unfortunately a lot of the game's visuals can be repetitive and the experience becomes hampered with clipping problems.

Having the board game only available as a single player option is kind of disheartening and takes away from the charm of this game. Add to this a lack exciting graphics and sound and somewhat negative feelings for some of the multiplayer games and it starts to look bad.

While Flower, Sun, and Rain has a cool premise and story, the game falls short on the delivery.

The battle system is great, but the rest of the game is just average.

With frustrating gameplay and painful load times, this game just not fun.

The game succeeds in generating some excitement (especially in multi-player mode) and executes well on most levels. Still, if given a choice I'd lean more to "NBA Live 2001," which for the moment, at least, retains its title as the number 1 basketball title to buy.

Hardly any gaming value period. Trust me on this one.

The graphics are cartoony but they could be improved, the voices and music are really good but the SFX are not quite on par, and the gameplay is repetitive and tedious.

I just can't recommend Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky to anyone that has played the previous games in the series. It looks like a GBA game, and is chock full of lazy and somewhat dated gameplay.

Overall, Sega's Rise of Nightmares makes valiant attempt at a creepy matured rated action horror game for the Kinect.

Overall, FaceBreaker is game with great intentions, but the execution disappoints.

As a casual gamer of this type of game I found my attention span wavered. Quite honestly I would much rather go out and play pool in a real hall.

If you have recently purchased a PS3 and have a pretty good home theatre system, you may want to pick Lair as a great demo disk; otherwise this one is a rental.

Its substandard graphics, poor sound and simplistic gameplay make this at most, a rental title indeed.

Overall, the Dreamcast Collection is best left to the bargain bins and flea markets. While it is enjoyable to go down memory lane one last time, this Dreamcast Collection is anything but a definitive Dreamcast Collection.

There's just not enough variety and some of the Move controls just aren't that great. Its sub-$40 price tag makes it a bit easier to stomach.

At best, this one is a rental folks.

After a bit of practice and familiarizing myself with the songs I started having a lot of fun with Disney’s Sing It. If you know the songs, or like catchy pop tunes, you will most likely enjoy playing it too.

Yes - there were many technical issues with this game, but at the end of the day, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 - Mutant Nightmare won the hearts of my Game Testers because it was challenging, and there was enough going on to keep them entertained.

I am not sure whether it is the game, or possibly the surroundings I am in, but I was having no end of grief in getting the game to control properly.

As negative as I might sound about Arcana's problems, there is probably a niche group of gamers that could enjoy this game. However, it should only be considered for veterans of the genre that simply can't wait for the next Monster Hunter Portable iteration to come to the West.

If you're jonesing for a shooter fix in this end of summer, pre-holiday rush of new games, Bodycount might just fill that void. I'd suggest a rental first though. The idea is there but the execution seems to lack that edge. This one amounts to nothing more than a completely generic shooting gallery. Even though the action is fast paced the controls, graphics, and sound are just okay at best.

A good game with a great concept. I just can't get over the difficulty of the movement simulator. It is the main cause of frustration with poor implementation.

At the end of the day Transformers: The Game offers a lot of sizzle but not enough steak.

The first is that this game is definitely not for diehard racing fans as the content and control will turn them off. On the other side of the fence though is the fact that I truly think this game is not that bad at all, and it could be a real hit when Kinect owners have friends or family over and they want to do something different for the night.

For hardcore puzzle solvers, or fans of either the book or movie, I would recommend this game, but I think the average gamer won't give the title the time to really crack the code.

Red Faction: Battlegrounds is enjoyable, but ended up being just like the rest of the titles in this genre. Fans will probably enjoy it and there is the nice perk of bonus content for the future Red Faction title. In the end Red Faction: Battlegrounds suffers from being an average game.

The best way that I can describe Conflict: Denied Ops is that it is not a bad game overall, but it definitely isn’t a good one either.

I actually didn't mind the simple arcade style gameplay because it was reminiscent of "Summer Games," a game I played often in my youth on a system that I adored.

With terrible graphics, unimpressive sound, and mediocre gameplay, this game really doesn't have anything to offer. Of course, the game is capable of providing some fun, you just have to use the CD as a frisbee to experience it.

All in all, PDC World Championship Darts is a decent dart game but one that could have done with a lot more polish, especially in terms of control and presentation.

Overall WALL•E for the PS3 is not a bad game but it does have its share of issues and annoyances.

Conflict: Denied Ops really feels like a game that was thrown together hastily.

The only way that I can sum up the PS2 version of Gameday 2001 is that it seems to be a slightly enhanced version of the PSone incarnation. This game just squeaks by with a joystick up.

In the end if one goes into Fairytale Fights with realistic expectations of what the game is, then one will no doubt enjoy what the game has to offer.

WALL-E for the Wii is definitely not a bad game; however it just doesn't stand out in a market where you have to be good to be appreciated.

Knights Contract can be enjoyable, but its combat system is rough and not very unique.

The game just doesn't work. This is hard to explain, but for whatever reason Blade simply doesn't gel properly. There is a sort of intangible loathing that emanates from it.

At the end of the day, X Blades is not a game that I would recommend for Xbox 360 gamers. For those looking for something with sex appeal or mindless button mashing, there are much better options available elsewhere.

That being said, this game is worth a look, but it definitely won’t be for everyone.

Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is not particularly a bad game, it is just one that does not stand out.

It's graphics are mediocre at best and it's sound is less than phenomenal, but the game is fun, and in terms of gameplay, a step up from its predecessors.

Fans of the Valhalla Knights series will most likely love the new added content and streamlined control factors included in the new PSN digital download Valhalla Knights 2: Battle Stance.

A classic example of a game that looks pretty decent of paper, but is actually horrible in application.

From the get go Kung Fu Live doesn't take itself too seriously and it pays off. A unique take on motion control for Playstation gamers allows the player to not only be actually in the game, but makes it playable without a controller in hand.

At the end of the day, Adrenalin Misfits is a Kinect game that fits well into the early games released for Microsoft's entry into the world of motion control.

The key here is to have lowered expectations and take it for what it is. A budget sized game and at budget sized price.

In the end Marvel Super Hero Squad sets out to do what it is supposed to, provide a mindless beat-em-up aimed at fans of the franchise.

Ultimately Top Gun for PSN is enjoyable but far too short to the point where I'd have to question the value for dollar.

Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring is game that wrestling fans may want to try, but try with caution. The content is a refreshing take on the world of wrestling given that the Mexican spectacle of Lucha Libre takes center stage. That being said, the control and AI issues do take away from a game that could have been so much more and this is where the cautionary warning is duly noted.

Unless you are die-hard Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic with lots of experience with the game or franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Beginning of Destiny likely won’t captivate you on any level.

At the end of the day Challenge Me: Math Workout does what it is supposed to do, it tests your cranial skills using a form of mathematics. It just isn’t that exciting.

There's other games that do MMA better and there's games that do blood and guts better. So is there any real reason to pick this one up? While Supremacy isn't technically all that bad there really isn't all that much reason to grab this one over a licensed MMA game or something even more over the top like Mortal Kombat. Rental? Perhaps but only if you're really strapped for something to play.

There is no question that many may likely enjoy this game; however, do not expect the complete Madden experience we have come to take for granted.

Toy Story Mania provides a fun carnival-like experience filled with plenty of mini-games.

It may not be the most engaging game out for the Wii at this time, and there are some control issues now and then, but the amount of games within the game is pretty impressive and it can provide some great family fun.

At the end of the day I was somewhat let down by the overall experience of Terminator Salvation for the Xbox 360. Like many summer blockbusters it was over too quick, and the hype was too much.

Although the visuals are solid, and the voice acting is strong, the confusing story, poorly localized text, and small amount of actual play versus the volumes of content you have to read all take away from what could have been a pretty cool game.

At the end of the day the Call of Juarez franchise has taken a giant leap back with its latest installment in the series. Problematic controls, lackluster visuals, grating voice work, and unoriginal gameplay are some of the common themes when I sit back and ponder what went wrong with this game.

At the end of the day the mindless run and gun action should please some fans, but lack of depth and gameplay issues make this game a tough one to recommend. That being said, fans of top down shooters may want to take a closer look.

I think this game offers us far more than any other game we have seen before. Think of its functionality! Buy six and you’ll have the most fashionable coaster set a gamer could ever want!

The Punisher: No Mercy is an aggressively mediocre FPS in my opinion.

Overall, Sonic: Free Riders is game that could have used a few more months in the shop to fine tune some of the controls and the responsiveness of such.

Overall, X-Men Destiny is a game you should avoid. It has little in the way of redeeming qualities and other than racking up some relatively easy Xbox Achievements or PlayStation Trophies, X-Men Destiny comes across as an unfinished product that will likely hit bargain bins come boxing day. Sadly, Silicon Knights' slump continues on.

Family Feud 2012 Edition is game many should ultimately avoid. Even the most die hard Family Feud fan will find many aspects of this game extremely frustrating. The game feels rushed, incomplete and likely should have arrived in the form of a cheap Xbox Live Arcade game. If you have a hankering for some virtual Family Feud entertainment then you may want to give this one a rent; otherwise, move along.

Unfortunately, the gameplay experience in Dungeon & Dragons: Daggerdale suffers from a lot of gameplay problems including poor music, shoddy voice work, and a whole lot of repetitious combat. All of these issues ultimately take a lot away from this title, which had whole lot of potential when first announced. Although you have the opportunity to save Daggerdale in the game, there is unfortunately not a whole lot to go on to save this title from mediocrity

At the end of the day it is really hard to justify the price of admission for such a short experience, but given the production values that went into it you at least have to give it a try.

Not all is lost with Tony Hawk: Ride though as the foundation is there for a decent game; you just might be better served to wait until the next instalment arrives with hopefully a little more polish.

Offers plenty of mindless fun that gives your brain the chance to go on cruise control.

Overall, Samurai Shodown Sen is a mixed bag indeed. The gameplay seems just adequate and the online play can be bogged down with the certain cheater moves we all love to hate. That being said though, nostalgic fans may want to check it out but most will probably pass this one over.

Overall, Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is an enjoyable fast paced game that could prove to be a good time with some friends. Although the game can be a bit of a challenge and has some frustrating moments, the good manages to outweigh the bad.

In the end Ghostbusters: Sanctum of the Slime feels like many of the other dungeon crawling, top down shooter titles released over the years and that lack of innovation is this title's ultimate downfall.

As a whole Hysteria Hospital delivers what it promises. It is a fast paced hospital simulation game in which you have to manage your time in order to not lose control of the patients and your hospital.

If you are a fan of the movie and own a DS, Napoleon Dynamite: The Game is pretty much a must buy.

On the one hand, the bare bones of the game are there, the potential is there, and I wouldn't trust many devs outside of Kerberos to patch this to a decent state. On the other, regardless, it's going to take at least a few months to patch it to a state where it's not just "sort of playable", it's actually enjoyable. But if you feel like helping nurture a game to completion, by all means fork out. Those of you who are more cautious, hang back a few months, it should be cool by then.

With average graphics, upbeat music, and motion sensitive control that can be somewhat fun, this game is really what you make it.

There is no doubt that FunTown Mahjong is what it is, a virtual version of 16-tile mahjong. Where my issues lie with the game is that the tutorial is not nearly as helpful as it could have been, the graphics are somewhat average, and the gameplay itself is not nearly what I expected.

The graphics suffer a little from a lack of balance, the sound is quite good, though some sounds are out of place, and the gameplay, while mostly nothing new, is well done and fun.

At the end of the day, Quantum Theory is a poor man's Gears of War.

The game’s inadequate control scheme and frustration level is what really brings the enjoyment down.

At the end of the day fans of this genre might want to give it a whirl to see if it satisfies their need for a handheld racer before making the plunge into purchasing this title.

Overall Mindjack would have been a decent launch title when the Xbox 360 first arrived; but at this stage in the console's life Mindjack is simply not 'up-to-snuff.' The bland and dreary visuals combined with poor audio and a less than thrilling single player mode suggests Mindjack is best left for the bargain bins.

Overall GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra is your typical movie based game. It lacks depth, feels rushed, and is not worth the price of admission.

Brave: A Warrior's Tale for the Xbox 360 is a game which will hardly please even your most casual gamer.

Overall, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is game which had some fantastic ideas and concepts. Unfortunately, the great ideas did not transform into a solid shooter.

Overall, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is game which had some fantastic ideas and concepts. Unfortunately, the great ideas did not transform into a solid shooter.

While not a true companion to the Transformers titles released on the other consoles at the same time, TCA fails to meet its potential.
